Another find from my antique store stop today

A lovely plate block commorating the US Postal Service with "information" on the gum side.

Banner day at the Antique Store

Bob & I went out into the county and stopped at a small antique store. I picked out a few post cards and one turned out to be $5.00! I asked why and was told it was a hard card to find. I told the gentleman I wasn't buying them for postcards but for the stamps. He then showed me a box of stamps and I bought the whole thing for $15.
These 1948 Canada issues were in there along with tons of USA 1970's plate blocks and some covers. I'll be doing a lot of posting!

1979 Great Britain, Christmas issue, Gutter block

A gutter block of 4 lovely Christmas stamps.

1909, Netherlands, real photo, postcard

Real photo cards are a bit unusual for this time. This card was mailed August 31st, 1909 in Amsterdam and apparently received September 3rd, in London Ontario! If you read the London date differently, let me know.

It is especially interesting that this was mailed on and noted as the Queen's birthday.

WWI, Camp Shelby 1918

This is from a man serving at Camp Shelby, to his sister. He comments that he wishes she was there to wash his dishes! He further states that the picture on the front is their "chow wagon" when away from camp. (Stamps, a nice pair of 1 cent Washingtons)

1927, marriage certificate, Derby England

1929 Maritime Air Pageant cover

First Maritime Air Pageant, July 1st, 1929. Sydney, Nova Scotia to Moncton, New Brunswick. In rough shape, but a nice one to have. The stamp is perfect.
